PLEEEASE select my local room in Petaluma, CA for the trial run of the billiard table. We only have one old brunswick that gets a lot of play, but to have a real carom table (10 footer) to try out would be phenomenal.
The owner is a pool and carom fan and would try and work something out I'm pretty sure.

With Gabriels and Roberto Rojas making quality carom tables that are probably similarly priced to what a Diamond carom table would be, it probably wouldn't be cost effective to build 10 footers for Diamond I guess but it sure sounds like it would be a good table to play on.
Why go after a market that don't need replacing? 9ft carom tables, now that's a whole different story, as most all of them are shit from the get go!

You're right for the game of 3-Cushion Billiards.
Playing straight rail Billiards is mostly played on 9' tables
with the 65.1mm billiard balls, and simonis 860 cloth.
I recover most all of the billiard tables in Atlanta, Ga.
Trust me, I can't wait for the Dimond billiard tables.

I agree with every word in your quote. I'd like to add that really good 8-foot and/or 9-foot carom tables would be one of the finest things that could be done for those wanting to learn and eventually take up the truly great game of 3-cushion billiards.
I can recall a bunch of old 6- or 7-foot carom tables in an upstairs room on E. 86th Street, NYC, but they seemed too small, even for how badly I'd played at the time. That was in the 50s. It was Harry Kramer's place. It was called, Yorkville Billiards; and featured countermen the likes of Art Rubin and Bob "The Destroyer." That place was probably why I was later nicknamed, "Yorkville Eddie." That name only lasted for my first couple of months of going downtown to the famed Ames and 711 rooms. Was, at best, a fourth-rate player at the time, and quite a sucker to boot. Worked for UPS and blew my paychecks at 711 faster than you could say, Jackie Robinson.
Oops; getting carried away again.
That's all for now folks,
